Philips Hue Ambiance lighting will never be the same after you try the Philips Hue lighting system. Using a companion app, you can tell the lights to turn on or off at certain times, set them to specific colors, and manage them remotely. Philips even offers "Light Recipes," preset lighting settings for various purposes like relaxing, reading, and concentrating. Photo by: Philips

Smart Lighting and Appliance Control–Imagine having full control of lighting and small appliances throughout your house, whether you’re home or not—without being one of the X-Men. Thanks to home automation technology, it’s all in the palm of your hand. Want to get a fresh pot of coffee brewing while you’re still in bed? Done. Need to check if lights or appliances were left on accidentally during the morning scramble out the door? No problem. Going out of town and want to be able to program your lights to make your home appear to be occupied while you’re gone? Yeah, there’s an app for that too. Want to save energy, money, and have greater peace of mind by increasing the safety and security of your home? Home lighting and appliance control technology is a great place to start.

The house that started it all: Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan. He and David Whitney used to invite great minds from the architecture, design, and art worlds to the house for evenings of discussion and debate. When the Glass House opened to the public in 2007, its programmers continued the invitation-only tradition.

Architect: Philip Johnson Location: Madison, CT Price: $1,750,000 For approximately 1/25 of the price, you can own a guesthouse renovated by Philip Johnson near his own Connecticut stomping grounds. (Full disclosure, it comes with a Cape Cod-style main house dating to 1720.)

Philip Johnson, Crystal Cathedral (1981) Home to the massive congregation of preacher Robert Schuller, famous for the Hour of Power television show, the Crystal Cathedral certainly puts the mega in megachurch. Technically a tower of glass, the $18 million structure designed by Philip Johnson utilizes silicon-based glue to hold the 10,000 glass panes in place (it can withstand a 8.0 earthquake). It’s currently being renovated by the Catholic church, which purchased the space after Schuller went bankrupt in 2010. Photo courtesy Forgemind ArchiMedia, Creative Commons

The Go's portability solves a common issue with lighting: getting it exactly where you want it to be. For example, why kill a party's vibe with overhead lights when this'll do the trick? Or how about in a backyard where outlets are non-existent?

Many of the homes presented in the book attempt to preserve the character of the original design, while adapting it to modern needs. Philip Johnson's Wiley house juxtaposes transparent public spaces with enclosed intimate areas.

Architect Philip Johnson, renowned for the four-sided view from his iconic Glass House, could be called an aural architect. The house’s approach is a gravel path that crunches loudly underfoot, announcing arrival. The house is tightly sealed, as silent as a church. And it is then, because of the perfect absence of sound, that the glass walls spring to life, like huge cinema screens, animated with outdoor images. Photo by Nora Feller/Corbis

Architect: Philip Johnson Location: Dallas, TX Price: $27.5 million The International Style architect, MoMA curator, and grandfather of East Coast modernist circles only built one home in Dallas, a colonnaded circa-1964 pile for local construction magnate Henry C.

A Treeline Terrace Channelling Philip Johnson (Atlanta, Georgia) The brainchild of a local architect and designer who financed the construction themselves, the Berne Street Treehouse, located on Atlanta’s BeltLine system of parks and trails, provides a literal bird’s-eye-view of the forests surrounding downtown. The upper room (pictured), bathed in sunshine from the skylight, opens to a series out outdoor terraces. Listing at Both Floors Modern Glass Tree House

Surrounded by wheat fields on a high-altitude plateau stands a small glass house and a solid, traditional barn. The owners, inspired by Philip Johnson’s Glass House, wanted a refuge that opens up to the prairie and mountains.
